Hero Dogs was proud to commemorate International Assistance Dog Week 2020, which was held August 2nd through 8th. International Assistance Dog Week (IADW) was created to recognize all the devoted, hardworking assistance dogs helping individuals mitigate their disability-related limitations. Hero Dogs takes the week as an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of all types of Hero Dogs and the humans who work with them.

- To raise awareness and educate the public about how these specially trained animals are aiding so many people in our communities;
- To honor the puppy raisers and trainers of assistance dogs; and
